Easy Peasy Inspiration Bracelets

***UPDATE*** Before continuing with this post, I wanted to tell you that I have a new
blog home. I'd love for you to visit (all my old posts are there, along
with brand new ones), and subscribe over there, since I can't transfer
my subscribers over for some reason. If you decide to follow, leave me a
comment so I can thank you...and follow back if you have a blog! Also,
I'm trying to convince the hubs that this IS a real job, so I need all
the followers I can get! Thanks so much...http://www.chaosserveddaily.com/

Isn’t this a fun little bracelet? Guess where I saw the idea? Yep, Pinterest. They take literally a few minutes to make, and are a perfect little accent for your crafty friends.

The silver beads are from Michaels and come in a package of 10, with “create",”believe,” and “hope” on them. To make the bracelet, cut three strands of embroidery floss to about 12” and thread one of them through a bead. Wrap the other two strands around either side, and tie knots to hold them in place. Braid each side of the bead, tie a knot at the end, and you’re finished.

See, I told you it was quick and easy!

My hooligans have YMCA camp this week, so I was all alone for the first time in what seems like forever! I spent the day shopping at the outlet mall (where I actually bought some shoes, shirts, and books for myself, in addition to things for everyone else) and checking out some small town knitting and pottery stores.

All in all, a very fun, if not productive day…but everyone needs a little me time now and then, right? Hope you’re finding some time for whatever rejuvenates you!

Oh, that sounds absolutely heavenly. "Me time"--what a concept! I'm so glad you got a day to refresh yourself--refilling the ol' bucket now and then is so important. Course you realize you avid fans will now expect even bigger and better from ya, right? Oh boy, I can hardly wait!

Love the cute bracelet. I've seen those beads, but couldn't come up with an idea for the life of me. Sigh, what's that I said about empty buckets?
